Heal your knee injuries

Knee injuries typically involve ligament sprains and tears, fractures, or tendonitis. For example, sprains occur when the knee ligament is exerted beyond its limits, while a fracture is a partial or complete break of the bone.

If you’re suffering from knee injuries that keep occurring, you may have weak or imbalanced muscles. Solidus’ Knee Physios Melbourne can prescribe a program to strengthen those muscles, restoring optimum function. Additionally, we can advise on exercises for proper knee joint alignment that can help prevent further injuries.

It was my very first time to see a Myotheraphy for my shoulder that was sore almost two months ago. I was amazed how good Julius was and he managed to fix my shoulder. I can now lift my arm up high with not much pain. Also, Julius was great explaining how my muscles and my body works together so that I don’t put so much pressure on my shoulders. He’s also given me exercises to do to strengthen my shoulders, my back and my posture. I highly recommended Solidus Health in Clayton. Thank you Julius

I saw Julius for my golfers and tennis elbow, he was very knowledgeable and helped me recognise the ways I was putting stress on my elbow before I started on any recovery exercises. Both Darryl and Julius are great guys who also provided a very friendly and great learning environment for son during his work experience. I would highly recommend the Solidus team for genuine health care and support. Thank you Julius!

I’ve been to many physios, however no one has provided consistent results in terms of injury rehabilitation and prevention like Julius. Highly recommend visiting this practice

I went to see the team at Solidus and they helped fixed my shoulder and ankle issues.They corrected my form and helped with some strengthening exercises just in time for my competition. Thankyou so much for the treatment! Highly recommend Julius and Daryl. Number 1 in the industry

Julius is so knowledgeable and takes the time to explain in depth the cause of what’s happening and puts together the appropriate rehab exercises to get you back training 100% in no time. Highly recommended.

I have been getting treatment from Daryl for almost 2 years now and can say that he is the best physio / allied health professional that I have ever seen.I suffer from chronic pain, and the targeted combination of treatment and strength and conditioning programs provided have enabled me to go from quite limited to daily exercise that is very physical, ranging from gym strength work to running to ninjawarrior!After many other experiences where consultants treat the symptoms not the cause, Daryl is a master at getting to the root cause. He is also very patient and carefully explains everything to ensure a complete understanding.I can't recommend Daryl highly enough!!

Julius was thorough, friendly, and professional. He took the time to find out my goals and work out a plan to get me there. The rooms are located within a body building gym, but it is a very friendly welcome.

Been going to Solidus and seeing Julius for knee rehab after my meniscus repair surgery. Julius has been amazing and he has been helping me a lot to get back to sports and weight training as soon and as safe as possible.

I attended my initial assessment with Julius, and have to say it was an inspirational experience. Not only did he greet me at the gym entrance, but he expressed genuine compassion, and empathy towards my situation.Julius was immediately able to identify my issues, and assured me that by implementing the right cues I would be able to minimise pain, and hence injury, rectify my form and improve my overall performance.Above-all, he is incredibly intuitive, and couldn’t believe I met a person who shared the same level of knowledge and passion for philosophy like me.I highly recommend his services to anyone who has been through the monotonous, and exhausting cycle of seeing multiples providers and finding themselves back at square one.Looking forward to my next session.

Daryl is the best physio I have ever seen. I initially saw him for a sore neck and have been seeing him ongoing for strength training and overall fitness. He is also a top person!!

Daniela R.

04:17 18 Mar 23

These guys are the real deal - by far the best health and conditioning team I’ve ever seen in Melbourne. I’m a regular gym goer and runner and these guys always get me moving through any niggles and have me back in the gym and feeling better in no time. The strength program I’ve been following for my knee over the past few months has meant I’m pain free and feeling supreme confidence in my body for the first time in a long time. A must for any strength or conditioning athlete, whether you’re a weekend warrior or something more serious.

Great experience at Solidus. Came to Daryl with an unknown glute/hip issue from powerlifting that I had been nursing. He was able to diagnose and prescribe rehab exercises all within a one hour consult. After implementing these rehab exercises this hip injury went away almost instantly within 1-2 sessions. During this time I had also picked up a shoulder niggle to which Daryl was able to fit me in his schedule almost straight away and prescribe me rehab exercises to which this shoulder niggle went away over 1-2 sessions. His ability to coach exercises and explain to the patient what is happening was great. Definitely recommend.

I've been seeing physios, massage therapists and chiros for the past 10 years and Julius is among the best! Great advice, great care, great attitude and great manual therapy. 10/10 would recommend.

I have been seeing Julius for a few years now and I have never looked back! He is so knowledgeable, has great attention to detail and is just a lovely person in general.I do bodybuilding and he always fixes any injuries through a dual approach:remedial therapy AND training cues/ adjustments. Everyone in the team is super nice and such great vibes. I recommend Solidus to all my friends and everyone that’s ever been loves them and is now one of their regulars.

Julius managed to fix my shoulder after just two sessions, something which the previous physio failed to do with open ended visits. I would highly recommend him and his services.

Paul M.

01:35 04 Oct 22

Genuine, practical, amazing crew! Helpful is an understatement, I can't speak highly enough of these guys, they have been instrumental in my injury rehab not only through treatment but practically taught me how to develop, teaching me and giving me techniques to fix issues at the root through strength and conditioning.

I highly recommend booking an appointment with Solidus if you're looking to get back to sports or need someone to help with recovery post injury.Between Julius, Darryl and the rest of the team, they've helped me get back to playing competitive basketball post Achilles surgery and postpartum!Also the deep tissue massages👌They even accommodated when I had to bring my baby last minute.

Julius is the man! I have been hesitant to see a new health care professional after many years of sticking with one type. However, if you’re prone to injury like I have been and can’t seem to pinpoint why and how to help relieve and prevent it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julius and his abundance of knowledge and care for the practice and his patients. Amazing work bro! Thank you so much for correcting my rowing pattern and putting me on the better path towards recovery and more gains!

Julius is the man. He has fixed all of my niggling injuries I have had over the years and continues to assist in the elevation of my training techniques. Thank you king!

Saw Julius to help with my chronic lower back pain, he diagnosed my problem within 5mins into the consultation by observing me complete a few simple exercises. He was very knowledgeable and efficient, the explanations he gave were all in line with how I felt and he customised a exercise plan for me on the spot and went through it with me to ensure I was doing them correctly. Julius was very thorough and honest too! Honesty is something I highly appreciate since it is a rare trait to find in any profession, he even said I probably wont need another session with him unless something changes significantly (instead of lying and stating i'd need a few more sessions). Highly recommend.

Julius is a king. He’s helped me countless times with an involved and meticulous approach to improving my physical health.

I was referred to Darly at Solidus by a very good friend who had achieved incredible results.After my first consultation I knew I would be on the mend.I had suffered back pain for over 10 years and thought it was something I would just have to deal with for the rest of my life.It was so bad that I could not finish a back workout or do any form of slightly heavier deadlifting at all.After following Daryl’s guidance with new programming, simple movements daily, getting squat shoes and actually learning the deep mechanics of my body (having long legs and a shorter torso) I now have NO back pain after 10 years. He has actually changed my life.I also had issues with my shoulders which he has fixed. Don’t get me wrong… you need to put in the work and follow the steps he gives you to adapt and change (in my case anyway) but with consistency I am a new person and am truly so grateful I was introduced to him.The only thing that upsets me is that I didn’t meet Daryl sooner 🥺Highly recommended.. no question or doubt at all. He is a Powerlifter himself so has on field first hand experience which is beneficial if you also lift weights.10/10 on all aspects. Very friendly guy also and always walks me out the door rather than just waving goodbye after our sessions.

In the last 2 years Julius Gastar has brought a damaged sciatic nerve back to life and restored wasted muscles in hip, leg and foot. I can now walk and drive again, where I had been numb from waist to big toe. Julius is an amazing healer - he uses massage, exercise, mind/muscle training, and weight exercises and encouragement to achieve his goals. He also consults widely on specific problems and issues. He has been a life saver for me. I am 78 years old - others had given up on me! I am still getting better even 3 years after spinal surgery. Thank you Julius.

Three years ago I had decompression laminectopies L4 mainly. I was numb from waist to big toe because my sciatic nerve was squashed flat. About 2 years ago a friend recommended Julius as he had helped her when noone else could. Since then Julius has brought life back to muscles which had stopped working. I now have movement in my toes and i can walk and drive again. It has been massage, exercises, weights and lots of encouragement. He has become an expert in feet and researches every problem and issue. It has been a long journey but he has brought me back to life and living. Irene Daly

I’ve had chronic back pain since I was 17-18 (I am now 30) and just lived with it as any time I went to a doctor and was referred to a physio, it didn’t help long term. I however started seeing my cousin Julius for it for the last maybe 1-2 years, and his treatment has definitely helped reduced the pain - some days I have none at all and it lasts for weeks or so which is a rarity! Daryl has also trained me and he is great as well !! Highly recommended!!

Jamila G.

23:50 28 Jul 21

I was recommended by a friend to see Julius due to on-going hip issues which had been impacting my training for a while. I had seen many healthcare professionals in the past and Julius has been the only person who is able to fix me! Julius is super knowledgeable and has helped remarkably with any pain or injury I have, as well as with my mobility and form which has enabled me to significantly progress in my training. They are also super genuine people who truely care about your health and well-being, and can't thank Julius enough for his on-going encouragement and support. Would highly recommend!

Both Darryl and Julius are fantastic! Teaching me things I didn't know about my body while increasing my shoulder mobility and stability. 10/10 would recommend.

Julius and Daryl are extremely friendly and are two absolute experts in their field who have come together to bring amazing service. Their quality of work is exceptional and it is very evident that they take great pride in what they do and truly care about the health and wellbeing of their clients. I have seen Julius a handful of times over the past few years and he has always ensured that I am back to my healthy and fully mobile self in no time at all through his myotherapy and coaching/exercise expertise. These gentlemen are some of the most genuine people you will ever meet and I cannot recommend them enough!

Sean

08:59 16 Jan 21

Was recommended to see Julius by a friend as I've recently been battling with injuries that have flared up due to WFH. I'd never seen a myotherapist before so I was a bit nervous but Julius put me at ease right away and walked me through both my injuries clearly so I understood what was causing it and gave me simple exercises I could do at home to strengthen the muscles I was wearing out to avoid further injury and reverse the damage I'd done to myself. Overall a great experience!

I came into the clinic with a janky hip and unstable squat form.Julius has been able to guide me through the corrective measures to get me back into tip-top form.His methodical approach, mixed with firm rooted knowledge has helped repair my weight lifting foundations (am now well acquainted with the Bulagarian Split Squat :( )Fingers crossed for that 140kg deadlift.

These guys are absolutely VITAL to maintaining my health. Super informative, and super supportive. I love that my recovery is not simply based on being treated, it's checking in with me between treatments as well as communicating with my Coach @ Jkingfit so that my maintenance is ongoing and proactive and not simply when I'm feeling sore.

Tina D.

06:19 16 Jun 20

Julius is incredibly knowledgeable and the treatment is always five stars. I’ve been seeing Julius for approximately two years and his services have never faltered. I see him for all my injuries and general body aches. He always gives strategies to improve my athlete technique. I can’t recommend him enough! If you’re looking to heal new or old injuries or just improve your physical technique I would look no further than Solidus!

Monique V.

05:47 16 Jun 20

Julius and Daryl have taught me with so many skills in managing my own health. They deliver so much more than just hands on work. Julius has taught me practical skills in correcting my posture and Daryl has given me the confidence to squat and deadlift safe and effectively. I am moving and feeling the best I have in years, couldn’t thank them enough.

Nicole C.

22:03 28 Nov 19

Julius and the team were so professional and friendly while treating me! His ability to explain why I'm feeling sore and then how to not only fix it but stop coming back is why I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

Vince Z.

06:44 28 Nov 19

As a Myotherapist myself I am always quite picky with who I see. Julius has been my Myo for years. Not only personally but if I ever have patients who I am unable to help I will always advise them to go see Julius.His professionalism, knowledge and personal approach are second to none in the industry.

Spencer R.

FAQs

What causes knee pain & how knee physiotherapy can help?

Knee pain can be attributed to several reasons, including wear and tear of the cartilage, osteoarthritis, fractures, and ligament tears or sprains. It can also be caused by diseases such as arthritis, gout, or rheumatoid arthritis.

Our Melbourne knee physiotherapists can help you deal with all of these issues. We are experts in the anatomy, biomechanics, neuromuscular function of the knee and treatment of the area. We can prescribe a tailored treatment program to deal with any concerns.

What is knee physiotherapy?

This type of physiotherapy deals explicitly with all knee problems, from top to bottom. Treatments include massage, joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, stretching and strengthening exercises.

Treatment is often prescribed in combination with at-home care to decrease pain and improve your range of motion.

What's included in our consultation?

A comprehensive assessment by our physiotherapist is included in the price of your consultation. We’ll determine why you have knee pain by conducting a physical exam, reviewing your medical history, and discussing previous injuries.

We’ll ask you to complete a series of simple exercises so we can determine the best course of treatment for your injuries.

Do you need a referral to see a physiotherapist?

You will not need a referral from a doctor to see a physiotherapist in Australia. As first contact practitioners, physiotherapists are an excellent source of advice and treatment for various medical problems, including knee injuries.

What kinds of knee pain do you treat?

Our knee physiotherapist will diagnose and treat any knee injury or condition. This includes acute injuries like fractures, ligament tears, meniscus injuries, or tendonitis to chronic degenerative conditions like arthritis, gout, or osteoarthritis.

Is there anything I can do at home?

At-home care is an integral part of your treatment. We’ll provide you with appropriate exercises and stretching techniques to help ease your pain and improve your mobility and strength around the knee.

You can also follow a low-impact home exercise program that can be conducted using only your body weight as resistance.

Should I exercise with a painful knee?

While participating in rigorous or high-impact activities can worsen knee pain, gentle exercise can be effective in restoring mobility and function.

Exercises like walking and swimming can help to relieve knee pain. When you remain sedentary, the lack of movement causes your knee to stiffen, and the muscles surrounding it weaken.

How do I know if you are the right clinic for me?

We’re experts in diagnosing and treating knee injuries, and we do it with a specialised approach.

Our specialists work with a wide range of clients with all kinds of knee issues, from elite athletes to older people who want to stay mobile and reduce pain.

Our physiotherapists are passionate about the profession and are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals.
